articles, photographs, statements or caricatures insinuating him to allegations of corruption.<\/p>\n<p>When the civil suit filed by Velumani came up before Justice R Subramanian, the judge directed tagging the suit with other similar matters and posted them for further hearing to March 8.<\/p>\n<p>The minister, in his suit, contended that the convener of Arappor Iyakkam, Jayaram Venkatesan, had been spreading &#8220;false news&#8221; against him for the past one year.<\/p>\n<p>Such &#8220;false&#8221; allegations against him were being made through print, electronic media and social media platforms, Velumani said.<\/p>\n<p>The charges against him include misuse of powers, forming cartels and involvement in favouritism over calling tenders and preventing participation of others in bids in a free and fair manner, the minister said.<\/p>\n<p>Such charges were &#8220;unsubstantiated, frivolous, false and made with a view to tarnish&#8221;
